Canary Capital 申请成立 ETF，持有 PENGU 代币和 NFT

Superstate has launched Opening Bell, a platform that allows SEC-registered public shares to be issued and traded directly on blockchains, starting with Solana.  SOL Strategies, a Canadian public company focused on Solana (SOL) infrastructure, will be the first to list shares through the new system. The move marks a significant step in integrating public capital markets with digital assets. Using Superstate’s infrastructure, companies can issue real, company-authorized equity, rather than synthetic or wrapped tokens, on-chain. These shares are fully transferrable, programmable, and can settle in real-time, according to a note shared with crypto.news. “This is a fundamental shift in capital markets,” said Robert Leshner, CEO of Superstate. “We’re bringing real equities into DeFi—making them transferrable, programmable, and accessible to global investors.” Opening Bell is available to existing public firms and late-stage private companies looking for blockchain-native investor access. The product is built on the same infrastructure that powers Superstate’s earlier tokenized funds, such as USTB and USCC. Superstate is a New York-based fintech company focused on bridging crypto and traditional finance.

CEO Leah Wald emphasized that the strategy reflects the firm’s long-term commitment to blockchain-native infrastructure while preserving access to traditional capital. “We believe these two initiatives serve complementary objectives in our capital markets strategy,” Wald told crypto.news when asked about the company’s Nasdaq endeavors. “A potential Nasdaq crosslist would provide access to a broader range of institutional investors, enhanced liquidity, and greater market visibility through traditional financial channels,” Wald said. “Meanwhile, exploring blockchain-based equity representation through Opening Bell allows us to potentially engage with forward-thinking investors who value innovation in market access and technology.” Wald added that the company is taking a measured approach to align investor experience across both platforms. “We’re taking a careful and compliance-focused approach to this innovation in capital markets access,” she said. Opening Bell aims to enable continuous trading and global participation without the constraints of centralized exchanges or traditional market hours. With this launch, Superstate and SOL Strategies are exploring new ways that public equity can operate in the blockchain age.

Zimbabwe is reviving gold coins to support its embattled currency, as earlier efforts with gold-backed digital tokens failed to curb economic instability. Zimbabwe is yet again turning to gold to defend its embattled currency, as the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, the country’s central bank, has revived sales of physical gold coins just 10 months after scrapping the program, betting that tangible bullion might succeed where digital tokens have struggled, Bloomberg reports. The so-called “Mosi-Oa-Tunya” coins, named after Victoria Falls, are being reintroduced during what officials are calling a “time of attractiveness” for gold. For context, minting had been paused in July 2024, after Reserve Bank Governor John Mushayavanhu suggested the focus would shift toward digital alternatives. Now, however, officials seem to be thinking differently. Persistence Gwanyanya, a member of the central bank’s monetary policy committee, told Bloomberg that the spike in global gold prices made it an opportune moment to act. “Gold is more attractive to the market at the moment and it supports our value preservation efforts. We are taking advantage of firm gold prices and re-injecting the gold coins into the market.” Persistence Gwanyanya Two major banks, the Central Africa Building Society and Nedbank Zimbabwe, have already confirmed they are selling the new coins as an “alternative investment option” that adds a “valuable asset” to portfolios, Bloomberg reports. The coins are available in denominations ranging from one-tenth of an ounce to a full ounce, offering flexibility to buyers who may not want to commit large amounts of cash upfront. Unrealized hopes Officials are no doubt hoping that physical gold’s enduring appeal will succeed where more experimental strategies — the country’s digital currency — have faltered. Zimbabwe introduced a gold-backed digital token, initially named ZiG (Zimbabwe Gold), in April 2023 to stabilize its currency and provide a value-preserving instrument amid ongoing inflation and currency instability. Introduction of the Zimbabwe Gold-Backed Digital Token (Zig) as a Means of Payment pic.twitter.com/o1CL5dsbaQ— Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (@ReserveBankZIM) October 5, 2023 The token was later renamed GBDT (Gold-Backed Digital Token) to avoid confusion with the new official currency, also called ZiG, introduced in Q2 2024. GBDTs can be stored in e-gold wallets or e-gold cards and are tradable for peer-to-peer and business transactions. At first, the move seemed to generate some enthusiasm. The central bank had even reportedly received 135 applications valued at 14 billion Zimbabwe dollars, around $12 million, during the first round of sales. But signs of trouble appeared quickly. Ordinary Zimbabweans, still scarred by memories of hyperinflation and economic collapse in the 2000s, were slow to embrace the unfamiliar tokens. Many remained wary of anything new, preferring to keep their trust, and savings, in the U.S. dollar. By June 2023, only 35 new applications for the digital currency were reported.

It has weakened roughly 65% against the dollar so far this year on the official market ,and even more on the streets, where parallel exchange rates dominate daily life, Bloomberg notes. Some outside observers had warned from the start that digital tokens would not be a silver bullet. The International Monetary Fund, for one, was openly skeptical. It reportedly urged Zimbabwe’s government to liberalize the exchange rate instead of experimenting with gold-backed digital currencies. The IMF also cautioned that using gold reserves to prop up alternative currencies risked depleting precious national assets. Even the high-profile token auctions failed to ease those concerns. While the first two sales were fully subscribed, the long-term viability of the gold-backed token remains uncertain, with officials saying only about one ton of gold reserves had been deployed to support the digital currency. For comparison, Tether revealed that it purchased nearly eight tons of gold in the first quarter of this year to back its gold-pegged token, XAUT. Biggest export In contrast, physical gold coins may feel more reassuring. At least for now. The revival comes as global bullion prices have surged about 25% this year, buoyed by rising economic uncertainty and simmering global trade tensions. Zimbabwe’s economy could use the boost: gold is one of the country’s biggest exports, and revenue from shipments reportedly jumped to nearly $396 million in Q1, up sharply from $303.1 million a year earlier. Still, even officials seem aware that this is no guaranteed fix. Zimbabwe’s history with alternative monetary schemes is long, and often painful. The local dollar itself was scrapped in 2009 after hyperinflation rendered it worthless, then reintroduced a decade later with mixed results. In that sense, gold coins may feel like a safer bet, though they are also something of a throwback.At a time when countries like Nigeria are experimenting with central bank digital currencies like the eNaira, Zimbabwe now appears to be reaching back to older ideas, betting that physical assets will hold their ground better than tech-driven solutions.

Crypto.com 是一家总部位于新加坡并在全球运营的加密货币交易所，该公司已公布申请 Cronos ETF 并推出专有稳定币的计划。 作为 2025 年路线图的一部分，Crypto.com 计划申请推出以其原生代币 Cronos (CRO) 为中心的 ETF。该公司计划在今年第四季度申请 ETF，但申请流程的更多细节尚未披露。 你可能还喜欢：Cronos 通过 LayerZero 连接 115 个区块链 从这个角度来看，Crypto.com 只是众多竞相推出加密 ETF 的公司之一。几家资产管理公司最近向监管机构提交了申请，以推出针对 Solana (SOL) 和 Ripple (XRP) 的 ETF。此外，Grayscale Investments 推出了 Dogecoin Trust，而 Tuttle Capital Management 已申请推出 10 只 2 倍杠杆 ETF。 除了推出 CRO ETF，Crypto.com 在 2025 年的另一个备受期待的里程碑是第三季度推出自己的稳定币。然而，目前有关稳定币底层法定货币和其他具体细节仍不确定。 除了推出 CRO ETF 和稳定币之外，这家总部位于新加坡的加密货币交易所还在扩大其金融服务范围。该交易所还打算在 2025 年第一季度上市股票和股票期权，将其产品范围扩展到加密货币之外。它还致力于推出新的银行功能，包括个人多币种账户和现金储蓄账户。 Crypto.com 的扩张不仅限于其服务产品。该公司还专注于提高其监管合规性。就在一周前的 1 月 27 日，Crypto.com 马耳他分部获得了马耳他金融服务管理局颁发的首个 MiCA 许可证。 虽然 Crypto.com 的雄心勃勃的计划引起了人们的关注，但 CRO 代币一直处于看跌区域，据 Coinmarkecap 称，其价格在过去一个月内下跌了近 37%。截至目前，CRO 的交易价格约为 0.10 美元，盘中小幅下跌 3.25%。 阅读更多：Crypto.com 在马耳他获得 MiCA 许可证

长期对加密货币持怀疑态度的安德鲁·贝利 (Andrew Bailey) 被一致推选为监督全球金融体系的国际机构的领导人。 英格兰银行行长安德鲁·贝利（Andrew Bailey）以对加密货币持谨慎、经常持怀疑态度而闻名。在获得帮助制定跨境金融规则的全球机构的一致支持后，他将于 7 月接任金融稳定理事会主席。贝利将于 6 月正式任命后于 7 月 1 日开始其三年任期。 总部位于瑞士的金融稳定理事会致力于维护全球金融体系的稳定。该理事会成立于 2009 年金融危机之后，旨在让各国共同关注市场，并制定指导银行、保险公司、资产管理公司以及加密货币公司的规则。 据彭博社报道，贝利在金融稳定理事会发表的声明中表示，他的任命正值金融体系稳定性“面临考验”之时。 他还指出，全球金融危机“凸显了共同应对挑战和加强多边体系的重要性”，并强调金融稳定理事会“体现了这种做法”。贝利将接替现任金融稳定理事会主席兼荷兰央行行长克拉斯·诺特。 Bailey 不是加密货币的朋友 Bailey has led the Bank of England since March 2020. Before that, he served as the head of the Financial Conduct Authority, the British main financial watchdog. While he’s been a central figure in U.K. financial regulation for years, his views on crypto and digital currencies have often made headlines. 例如，在 2024 年初，当比特币价格攀升至 40,000 美元以上时，贝利对 BTC 等加密货币表示怀疑，称 BTC“尚未成为一项核心金融服务”。他还称比特币“效率低下”，并没有表现出对其在日常金融中的使用过多的支持。 “它并没有成为一项核心金融服务。例如，使用比特币作为支付服务效率非常低。因此，我认为融入金融体系的势头没有保持下去。但我们必须密切关注它。” 安德鲁·贝利 你可能还喜欢：英国央行质疑数字英镑项目 On stablecoins, his position is slightly more measured, though still cautious. In February 2025, Bailey suggested that stablecoins “must meet a high bar” before going mainstream, emphasizing that they should adhere to strong regulatory standards to protect consumers and the financial system. Bailey has also addressed central bank digital currencies, like a potential digital pound, raising questions about their necessity and stating in a February 2024 speech at the Chicago Booth Business School that the banking industry must ask “why we need to introduce central bank digital currencies to achieve those benefits.” He also warned that a digital pound shouldn’t “undermine the role of commercial banks,” emphasizing that this concern is crucial to ensuring the financial system functions properly as a whole. Future implications With Bailey taking over as head of the FSB, he won’t have full control over policy, but since the FSB has a major role in setting global standards — especially on emerging issues like crypto — his anti-crypto views could, in theory, start carrying more weight. FSB 已经将重点放在数字资产上。2023 年，它发布了关于各国应如何监管稳定币和加密平台的新指南。当时，该国际机构已经呼吁“对加密资产活动和市场进行全面和一致的监管和监督”。 作为新任主席，贝利可能会对全球标准的发展产生影响，尤其是在加密货币业务方面。然而，鉴于他过去的言论，可能会更加重视强有力的消费者保护、监管和金融稳定。他对加密货币的实用性和风险的担忧也可能改变 FSB 在未来工作中的谨慎程度。 不过，尚不清楚他的个人观点将在多大程度上影响议程。毕竟，金融稳定理事会是一个基于共识的机构，决策往往是数十个国家的央行、财政部和监管机构经过长时间讨论的结果，而不是由一个人决定的。 阅读更多：英国央行行长表示加密货币投资者可能会损失全部资金
